What it is
Tender chicken pieces (often bone-in, skin-on) baked together with florets of cauliflower, seasoned generously with Iraqi spices, garlic, and olive oil, creating a comforting and aromatic one-pan meal.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (e.g., thighs, drumsticks), cauliflower florets, yellow onion, garlic, olive oil, Iraqi mixed spices, paprika, salt, black pepper. (Optional: small amount of tomato paste for color).
How to make it keto
Ensure no potatoes, carrots, or other starchy root vegetables are included in the bake. Confirm that no sugar is added to any tomato component if used.
Watch out for
Small amounts of onion and a little tomato paste (if used) contribute natural carbohydrates. Cauliflower itself contains moderate carbs, which should be monitored in large portions.
